Light-scattering theories

In the Rayleigh region the intensity of the scattered radiation in a direction making 6 with an incident beam of unit intensity is given by [45]  

Equation (10.15) has been applied to very small particles but is more relevant to the size determination of molecules. For m - l- 0

The work represents an application of core-shell light scattering theory to polymer latex suspensions and addresses the separate identification of light scattering by dust, latex particles and low molecular weight solutes. 

The output of the disk centrifuge, a curve of optical density versus time, can be converted to a particle size distribution by using Stokes law to convert the time axis to a size axis and by the application of light-scattering theory to calculate the particle frequencies from the optical densities. As described herein, one obtains mass distributions with linear size increments or the equivalent area distributions with logarithmic increments.
